Black Cosmopolitans, let’s talk about what’s not being said.
SZA just unfollowed Drake on Instagram—and the internet is lit with speculation. While neither of them has publicly addressed the move, timelines are connecting the dots faster than a Kendrick Lamar diss verse.
Some fans point back to that infamous 2020 bar from Drake’s “Mr. Right Now” where he casually dropped that he and SZA dated in 2008. SZA later corrected him—saying it was actually 2009—and made sure folks knew there was nothing shady about it. That lyric seemed to cross a boundary for her then, and now, five years later, she’s pressed the unfollow button again.
But that’s not all. This move comes amid SZA’s very visible alignment with Kendrick Lamar and a growing distance from Nicki Minaj—who’s currently beefing with both Lamar and SZA. While the internet’s been buzzing about rap royalty clashing, SZA quietly making this digital move speaks volumes to fans watching these loyalty lines get drawn in real time.
Here’s the thing: SZA hasn’t issued a statement, and maybe she never will. But in today’s landscape, unfollowing someone can say just as much as a diss track.
Black women navigating the music industry are under a microscope, and every choice—personal or professional—is dissected by millions. Whether this was about boundaries, loyalty, or just emotional self-preservation, SZA is moving on her own terms.
What’s your take, Black Cosmopolitans? 👇🏽
Was this about Drake’s past lyric? A power shift in music? Or just setting a clean boundary?
